Volusia Half-Mile Added to Triple Crown
B
ecause the Black Hills Half-
Mile was stopped shortly after
its start, the Volusia Half-Mile,
scheduled for October 15, will
now serve as the finale to both
the AFT season and the Triple
Crown.
The Progressive Triple Crown
was originally slated to consist of
the Laconia Short Track at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway
in Loudon, New Hampshire on
June 11, the Black Hills Half-Mile
at Black Hills Speedway in Rapid
City, South Dakota on August 6,
and the Springfield Mile Double-
header at the Illinois State Fair-
grounds in Springfield, Illinois on
September 3-4.
However, since the premier-
class main event at the Black
Hills Half-Mile was called com-
plete shortly after its start and
every rider who qualified for
the race awarded a single point
due to inclement weather, it was
decided to designate the Volu-
sia Half-Mile Finale at Volusia
Speedway Park in De Leon
Springs, Florida, on October 15,
to stand in as the Progressive
Triple Crown's test of Half-Mile
supremacy.

Due to the rain-shortened
Black Hills Half-Mile, the
season-ending Volusia Half-Mile
will stand as a round of the
Progressive Triple Crown.
